Slender body theory programmed for bodies with arbitrary cross section

A computer program developed for determining the subsonic pressure, force, and moment coefficients for a fuselage-type body using slender body theory is described. The program is suitable for determining the angle of attack and sideslipping characteristics of such bodies in the linear range where viscous effects are not predominant. Procedures developed which are capable of treating cross sections with corners or regions of large curvature are outlined

Zur Chronologie der Menippeen des Varro

The author of this article analyzes three fragments of Varro’s Menippean Satires (Frg. 183, 334 and 104 Buecheler) which are supposed to contain further information about the dating of these lines. From the interpretation of these fragments he tries to establish more precisely their chronology

An optimized protocol for isolation of hepatic leukocytes retrieved from murine and NASH liver biopsies

Summary: Immune dysregulation and inflammation by hepatic-resident leukocytes is considered a key step in disease progression of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis toward cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we provide a protocol for isolation and characterization of liver-resident immune cells from fine-needle biopsies obtained from a rodent model and humans. We describe steps for isolating leukocytes, cell sorting, and RNA extraction and sequencing. We then detail procedures for low-input mRNA sequencing analyses. : Publisher’s note: Undertaking any experimental protocol requires adherence to local institutional guidelines for laboratory safety and ethics
